Time for holidays...
...orders have been achieved in time for the big day, parcels have been sent overseas, pressies have been made by hand this year, either woven, crochet or sewn, lots have a woolly theme, but not all.
My last crochet workshop has been hooked and the Christmas boughs from the hedgerow are drying in the barn...all that is left to do is to sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of my labour...
Sending you my best festive wishes...

Crochet and Peg Loom
Workshops...
Busy weekend of workshops...crochet, followed by peg loom weaving in Carmarthen on Saturday and then more crochet in Hay on Wye on Sunday morning.
I love teaching and inspiring others to make and create, it's super rewarding and a joy.

Llandovery Sheep...
...festival
More lovely sheep...
Great weekend at my local sheep festival...doesn't every town have one?
The sun shone, the spinners spun, weavers wove, burgers sizzled, wool sacks raced, a town crier (a real one, not a little 'un having a tantrum!) choirs sung, Wales won the rugby and the sheep on stage were well behaved...well almost....
I am looking forward to next year already
Me and my little helper Deri Bevan...she demonstrates peg loom weaving exceptionally well
Sheep on stage...why of course...
My fav...the proud Jacob ram
My stand, already to go...not sure about the hazard type though...weaving is not That dangerous!
(Funny what you miss until you see it back in an image)
Great weekend, met fabulous people, had lots of fun, talked the hind legs off a donkey...
Now to prepare for the next one...west Wales Wool Show in Narbeth, Pembrokeshire, 10th October
